- Check the wooden surface.
The first step is to examine the wooden surface. Examining it will bring no significant difference, but it supports ruling out uneven areas.
- Clean the wooden slabs
The next step is to clean the wooden blocks. Cleaning not only removes dirt, dust and grime from it. But it also makes the surface even to paint with more precision. If the wood is clean, you can do dusting to clean the surfaces. But if there are any hard marks or stains, you will need solid detergents or cleaners. However, painting covers all the smudges, but prior cleaning gives more vibrancy. You can go with isopropyl alcohol to add a neat look to the wooden slabs.
- Sand its surfaces
Sanding plays an essential role in preparing wooden surfaces. It makes the rough surfaces smooth and clean. The coarse nature of sandpaper removes grime and dirt from the wooden surfaces. It makes the texture smooth for the even application of paint. The rough surface of wooden slabs becomes even with sandpaper. Sandpaper makes the finish coats more flawless and appealing.
- Prime the wooden surface
Priming the wooden blocks before painting is the most crucial step. The solid constituents of the primer fill the wooden roots and keep them intact.
It fills all the grains and minute holes in the wood. The proper filing of wooden grains locks it together. A shellac-based primer prevents the soaking of paint and brings radiant results. The wood will drink the paint if you do not prime the surface.
- Paint and sand again
Priming is the last step in the wooden surface preparation. But you can follow an additional step to groom the surface. You can start applying the paint on wooden surfaces using small strokes. After painting the exterior areas with one coat, remove it with sandpaper. This step is not essential, but it can make the final results more promising. It supports removing unnecessary particles and brings the perfect polish.
